How to convert to 1 wire alternator on a 70?
ForceFed70 replied to 55Mach1's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
For a 1-wire alternator, the wire goes straight to the battery. Yes, the voltage regulator on the fender is no longer needed and can be removed. Some 1-wire alternators are just regular alternators with he coil exciter wire removed. What this means is that the alternator needs to self energize and typically won't start working until you rev the engine past 2000rpm. So make sure you do some research into this. -
Converting to EFI and a question about the fuel pump
ForceFed70 replied to EastYorkStang's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
I've just got the unbaffled tank with a bung added to the OEM fuel sender unit to allow for a return fuel line. I've noticed no problems from being unbaffled, but I don't drag race (no hard launches) and I don't let the tank get below 1/4. One of the baffled tanks sure would be nice. They wen't available when I did my EFI conversion. -

ForceFed70 replied to EastYorkStang's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Are you planning to keep the stock fuel tank? If so, what do you plan to do for a return fuel line? The easiest way to do this is to use a Warlbro In-line fuel pump. But without a baffled tank, you may run into problems when below 1/4 tank. -
From what I remember, it's just kinda tucked up under there. You should be able to just pull it out. This is assuming you've removed the door sill plate and the interior kickpanel.

air dam/ overheating while driving
ForceFed70 replied to ccobra70's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
I also think that you need to look at water flow issues. Lower hose collapsing would be my starting point as well. The wire can go on the outside of the hose, so rust shouldn't be an issue. Even just some good quality hoses can help as the cheap ones tend to get too soft when hot. -

Deck lid hold-open solution for wing cars?
ForceFed70 replied to miketyler's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
The spring holds mine up as well tho I did have to adjust it to the "stronger" notch. -

He does great work. I had the same problem - he said it would take 2 weeks, but took 2 months.

This is common and is done as part of the alignment process. 1 of the front wheels is more "forward" than the other. It has to do with bump steering or something like that. I can't remember exactly why but someone who knows more about wheel alignment stuff can probably explain better. I noticed the same thing when lowering my car. 1 wheel rubbed the other didn't.

As has already been said, putting a T5 behind a 351C is no different than for a 351W or a 302W (and most 289's).

Use HID instead. Cheaper and more energy efficient.

How low can you go with stock suspension?
ForceFed70 replied to MikeStang's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Hmmmm, You should have problems with tire rub, etc before you have to worry about shock height. With it that low, your suspension geometry is going to be screwy as well. I really reccomend that you wait until the motor is in the car, etc before you try to modify the ride height. For a test run around the block, the shock doesn't even need to be there. -
